    Re-Chroming steel wheels

    Hi

    Does anyone have any suggestions for places that would re-chrome steel wheels for my 1970 911T, and approximate cost? Looking for somewhere on the west coast, as I'm in Vancouver and apparently nobody does this in BC.

    In Ottawa it is $500 per wheel (split, triple chromed, rewelded)... I decided to media blast mine and paint as I cannot afford the $2,000 to get them rechromed!

    No, it clearly says Stoddard on them. They will make custom size and offset, so you could have 7R Steelie or whatever you can think of.
